So what's next for the roster

[Wizard Mentor]

Our team now consists of a bunch of dunkers/runners. Frazier is our best running PG. He may get some burn.

 

[Scalma]

You know hibbert wouldn't be a bad gamble at this point.

seems like the retool of the roster so far has shown we want mobile athletic bigs - Hibbert is a plodder and not all that athletic, why add him for 16 mil when it will take away minutes from the plenty of young bigs we already have? and he's a UFA next yr, since Hibbert is no "dofference maker" I'd rather give minutes to develop guys we have under contract and fit our "new stylr" of play

He's already picked up by the Lakers

I only see one real option for this roster this year. They have to suck to protect their first round draft pick and they're well positioned to do just that. It won't take much, all they have to do is give Lillard the ball and let him chuck it up 25 times a game with 2 or 3 defenders on him at all times and then let all of these other unproven types get a baptism by fire.

The only question I have is do we win more than 25 games in a stacked Western Conference?

No.

 

[Nikolokolus]

No.

Horrible as it might sound I think that's for the best given the circumstances. The trick is to not suck for too long, so that A) your fans don't lose interest and B) you don't develop a loser's mentality on the team.

I think so, too.

Gee makes sense. A deal for Derozan would be prefect, and amazing. Kanter doesn't seem to make sense. Gerald Green would be interesting at least.

There are 11 players on the roster if you guarantee Crabbe and Frazier and you have to have 13. Who should we add? Perry Jones III is available (OKC has a 16 players on their roster) and Kendall Marshall and Wesley Johnson are FA's. All 3 of those players are a position of need at SF and PG. Jones is a multi-talented guy and Marshall is a bigger PG who can really pass and shoots way better than we all thought he would.

 

[Blazer509]

CJ plays the 1 and 2 so you can either get a backup PG or backup SG. Wesley Johnson isn't a bad idea.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

With Ibaka and (soon to be?) Kanter locked up to max deal I'd try like hell for Steven Adams.

 

[Blazer509]

Im not sure I believe that Kanter is getting the max. Only one person has reported on it as far as I know.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Everybody not still on their rookie contract needs to be on the trade market for draft picks.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Neil is scrambling.

Teams w/ Space: DEN (6.5), DET (3.8), IND (13.1), LAL (5.1), MIL (3.7), ORL (17.4), PHI (15.7), PHX (6.9), POR (24.3), SAC (7.7), UTH (9.4)

Who is left that we can "absorb"

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Not a lot out there.

Derozen is a waste of time.

If you absorb Waiters maybe you can pry away Steve 'The Enforcer' Adams.

Ouch. Once you get past the top 3 names, there is nobody on the list worth the investment.

The Thunder said they will give him 15.5 mil per and match any offer

I hope that is true.

Heck, I hope every team EXCEPT the Blazers go on a spending spree on the 2nd and 3rd tier guys who are left.

They are desperate to get rid of Waiter's 5 mil? They must really hate him.

 

[Cippy91]

I don't think we try for Kanter. We got bigs. Wouldn't make sense

 

[Cippy91]

We need wings and possibly a backup pg unless they have something going with frazier and cj there

I was thinking the same. Go young with what we have, get them experience and hope to hell that someone during the season needs to unload something we want that no one else can afford.

Kufos signs with the Kings?

Hope Boogie forces a trade out of Sactown and we can put together a package.

It's a dream. But that's sadly all we have now.
